PAGE EIGHT THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4 1947 BEAUTY FOR YOU -- Your Face Reveals Your Nature By HELEN Play with the cosmetic kit, lay on the hand-painted complexion, chase after stylish dry goods and build the chic hair-do, but don't forget that the most important factor in the composition of beauty is good nature, To be nice helps one to look nice. To be nice one must have nice thoughts about one's fellow creatures. Now don't run away! A little preaching don't hurt you! After all, it isn't you, my friend to whom we preach, but to that unpleasant, belligerent ac- quaintance of yours, She's going to catch it! Good-natured individuals may not get rewards in the form of this world's riches, but they certainly have a better, happier existence than do those who are always itch ing for a fuss, a controversy or a battle. Calm people find each oth- er good company. Their emotions are serene and normal. When they look in the mirror they don't feel like making faces at themselves. They stay younger longer, they sleep sounder, they do not get pre- mature wrinkles. Thére are times when they feel like blowing their tops, but they pause, count ten, and laugh at themselves. What's the use? Kicking up a rumpus never accomplishes anything, If life tea- ches a woman nothing else, it should teach her that much. Losing one's tel r is a bad hab- it. It is a boomerang. You can't-- if you are halfway human -- make another person unhappy without being unhappy yourself. It is hea- ven's truth, And how does one look after an emotional spree? Face tense, eyes snapping, an ugly ex- pression, Not pretty. The calm woman is that way be- cause she does a lot of tall and heavy thinking. She has developed a philosophy that works like a little Swiss watch, Goes clicking along, without missing a tick, It serves her well. It keeps her out of a lot of trouble. When she feels herself weakening, spoiling for an argu- ment, she retires to her bedroom, JAMESON the ever-present cloud in the family circle. > +P closes the door, lies down, com- munes with herself, tells herself not to be a fool. It just doesn't pay. The belligerent woman develops nerves; sizzling nerves may bring on physical conditions that are serious. Being at odds with every- one, criticizing, finding fault, indul- ging in self pity, devitalizes her system. In the family circle she is the ever-present cloud that damp- ens the spirits of others, She can't drop peacefully to sleep at night because she is reviewing the day's scraps, deciding which ones she won, which ones she lost. She has, of course, lost all of them, because of the deplorable effects upon her character and appear- ance, She is UK School-Leaving Age To Become 15 Next Week By JAMES McCOOK London, England, April 2--(CP)-- The school-leaving age for British youngsters will be raised from 14 to 15 despite long parliamentary dis- cussions as to whether 390,000 addi- tional children should be kept in school an extra year at a time when Britain needs every hand in indus- try. Even Labor in Doubt Even in labor circles the impact of the economic crisis caused some doubt as to whether this is the right time to put through the plan long advocated by their party. But fiery little Ellen Wilkinson, former edu- cation minister, who dled in Feb- ruary, and her successor, big, bluff George Tomlinson, found friends in the Cabinet who supported their de- termination to carry through the education program as planned by the Churchill-Coalition Government and adopted by the Labor Govern- ment. "This extra year can and should be used to widen the child's vision of mind so that he or she becomes as a result more adaptable, quicker to master new techniques and grasp new ideas by which we as a nation not only will survive but remain great," Tomlinson said. The extra year is the first step to- ward the educationists' goal of sec- ondary education for all, Expect Difficulties Education authorities say there will undoubtedly be accommodation difficulties in some areas when the effect of the extra year of school is fully felt this autumn. But tem- porary school buildings are being used and they are expected to be sufficient until new buildings can be constructed. About 20,000 teachers now are in emergency training and about 2,000 of them have already completed their emergency courses. It is hoped Ba 1300 i teachers will be ready for school's open in 8ep- tember. With that Yodine the 5 tal number of teachers in state- alded primary and secondary schools will be 189,000. - Additional teachers are expected to bring about a reduc- tion in the number of pupils in each class. Many schools now have 40 to PIMPLES-BLACKHEADS TRY THIS PROMPT RELIEF FOR YAs1antLy SKIN BLEMISHES uticura contains valuable, scientific medicinal CUTICURA SOAP: OINTMENT 50 pupils in each class. The goal is 30. Experiments in Education Experiments in education are be- ing conducted and the schools will be devoted more to the child's own interests. For example, a boy inter- ested in building model engines but finding difficulty with mathematics may be set to drawing plans to scale which will 'develop his ability to use numbers. All children between 11 and 15 will have the amenities of a secon- dary school with equal standards for each type of school--modern, grammar and technical. These schools will serve the children by giving them educations along lines for which they appear to have the greatest aptitude. Educationists hope to use aptitude tests to determine the child's line of education. How- ever, some members of Parliament question the effectiveness of the tests. Progressive Legislation Unusual harmony prevails in the Commons when educational matters are discussed. Even staunch labor supporters agree that the education act of 1944, for which Conservative R. A. Butler, former education min- ister, was largely responsible, is pro- gressive legislation designed to give every British child a fair educational chance, Even famous privately-owned pub- lic schools like Eton and Harrow no longer are closed to those without means since they are required to assist the state program. The path to the universities is being eased for poorer British children by Govern- ment scholarships and grants. Your Attention Is Invited If you are interested in the pattern service furnished by The Times-Gazette, the follow- ing statements will concern you: (1) The price of every pattern will be 25 cents, beginning with last WFriday. (2) From three to five weeks should be allowed for delivery of any pattern ordered. This is the busy season when so many patterns are wanted that this delay is unavoidable. This is, of course, disappointing to many who expect to receive the pat- tern they order in two or three days. A warning about this de- lay was published a few weeks ago but it must have been miss- ed by many who have ordered .

BUNDESEN, M.D, WHEN THE BABY EATS POORLY Many parents think that you "spoil" a child by allowing him to do what he wants. The opposite is much more likely to be true, espe- cially in the realm of food. Many a youngster begins his childhood with a poor appetite and a cross disposition only because an over- anxious mother has tried all during his babyhood to force him to eat what he does not want and often does not need. i Poor eating in a baby often starts when he is given his first solid food, The taste of the food, spoon are all strange. However, af- ter two or three days most babies will take a cereal feeding and with- in a week or two accept it wiiling- ly, but there are some who, from the very first, seem to dislike ce- on them. Any effort that the mo- ther may make to force the baby to take the cereal only makes him more obstinate, Preventing Difficulty To prevent difficulty with the first solid foods the mother should remember that it may require sev- eral days and even several weeks for the baby to get familiar with the new food. There is no hurry. 'The only important thing is to make sure that the baby will event- ually like the cereal. Just a taste each day is enough until he be- comes eager. for it. Because the baby so often rebels against taking the cereal it may be advisable to start with some other solid foods such as apple sauce or mashed banana. The infant is much more likely to enjoy these foods and later take cereal willing- ly. On the other hand, if he is started with cereal and dislikes it, every other food. Hungry at Mealtimes When the baby is from six to nine months old he usually is hun- gry at mealtimes and eats avidly of whatever is offered him. However, between twelve and fifteen months of age children frequently lose this good appetite, At this time, the foods most commonly refused or eaten poorly are vegetables, cereals and milk, Of course, the mother realizes that the child needs these foods and she is apt to urge or try to force the baby to take them but the infant only becomes more obstinate. The mother should bear in mind that the infant's appetite is likely to fall off from time to time, If he turns against certain foods, offer him otters. If he does not want any vegetables, give him fruit twice a day. The baby may temporarily cut down his milk intake. If this happens, extra milk can be given in milk puddings or in cereals made with milk. Dry cereals may be of- fered in place of cooked ones. The best rule to adopt is to let the baby's appetite take care of itself, and to allow his appetite to deter- mine the amount of food that he wants, Above all, avoid urging and force. ; 1 have outlined some instructions regarding infants more than nine months of age who refuse to eat which I shall be glad to send to all those who desire them if they will send a self-addressed, stamped en- velope.

ACCIDENT REVEALS RANK Hamilton, April 1 -- (CP) -- Perhaps Hamiltonians aren't rank conscious but it took a traffic ac- cident to discover that Sir John Burke, baronet, was a resident of the city. "Mr. Burke," who isn't impressed by the title, said it was hereditary, and descended to him from his father, the late Sir Julian Burke, of London, England.

A little thinning at the temples and a woman has visions of herself wearing a transformation, We're all funny that way. Can't seem to take a cheerful view when anything affects appearance. If you are worried about the state of your glorious crown, just take better care of it, have faith that it is not going to forsake you. Tresses moult a little all the time. Stimulate the scalp and the blood streams will get on the job; their mission is to bring nourishment to the silky shafts, Good Circulation To be blessed with good circula- tion a girl should have outdoor ex- ercise every day, pump' ozone into her lungs. She should have a bal- anced diet, get eight hours of sleep every night, quit the worry habit if she is inclined to fret. Anything that depletes viality may deplete the wool upon one's head. Bland Shampoo If she is her own head washer, she must select a bland, safe sham- FOLLETT Five minutes of thorough brushing every night is a "must" for y lovely hair, : LJ LJ poo; she must rinse every bit of suds away. Soap scum, left on the scalp or on the silky shafts, is a bad influence, Every night the hair should have five minutes of brushing so that the oil sent out by the sebacious glands on the scalp lubricates the growth, Keep your hairbrush scrupulously clean, Ufclean combs and brushes are an abomination. After the brushing give the scalp a five-minute massage. Spread out fingers and thumbs, pinch and roll the flesh; in time it will become softer, circulation will freer, This treatment need not weaken your finger wave. It will, in time, make the hair look more alive, and it will behave in a more agree- able manner, staying where it is put. Much time is given to hairdos, and that's all right. Little time is given to promoting hair health that must come from the scalp. If you are shedding more silky threads than usual, you certainly can spare ten minutes every night to stop the slow fluffing away of your hair, Fashion Flashes HOORAY FOR THE SAILOR so popular this Spring--hats we mean. A high-crowned sailor of burnt paillasse has a high crown band of fine black Chantilly-type lace which continues in a snood effect down the back, which is decorated with a cluster of black chiffon grapes, LA NEW NOTIONS lend interest to new suits, Navy taffeta is used for a pretty suit that has a simple, buttoned, long jacket front, with an intricately-dipped and pleated fish- tail back. . LER AT LEAST one simple little go- everywhere silk dress has a place in a well-rounded wardrobe even if the wearer is a suit addict. Beige rayon crepe makes a charming lit- tle frock with a cowl-draped scarf- effect in back and front to break the slim bodice lines. A flare panel gives an easy look to the skirt. Waist has posy of self-flowers. * bb IT'S NICE to point up a mono- tone suit with a bright hat. A shal- low, off-the-face sailor of pale pink felt draped in emerald green veil- ing, and trimmed in front with two green parrot quills and a red rose, would look beautiful with a gray suit, LR I THE ANSWER to the perennial "What shall I wear?" is always a fine silk print. A delicate Mexican leaf design, in solid and tracery green in various shades on black silk crepe, makes a handsome after- noon frock with a deep, to-one-side neckline. Intricate side drapery on the slim skirt. LE BN THE ANSWER to the commuter who comes to town by train for an important party, is the ankle- length evening frock. A charming idea is a slim, strapless, ankle- length dress in black satin with an overskirt and long sleeved, button- ed-down-the-front peplum jacket of matching lace. A man in Adelaide, Australia, ad- vertised for a house and got a good one--just because a reader liked "a man with imagination." The ad- vertisement read: "I am a beaut. I only work when I have to, and I dont' like gardening. If you must know, I beat my wife. I have a youngster too, who will draw nice pictures on your walls, the little pet. I put up with them because I love them. I'll go on living with them. The question is--where? I'm tired of beating up the in-laws, so if you think your house can stand it, Show Fruit Juices Hasten Polio Onset The discovery that certain fruit juices and chemicals contained in fruit juices, speed up the onset of infantile paralysis in infected ex- perimental animals was reported at a recent medical meeting in Cleve- land by Drs. John A. Toomey, Wil- liam 8. Takacs and P. P, Pirone, all of Western Reserve University. The experimenters ground and centrifuged peach skins in water, drained off the solution, diluted it with 'water, then injected some of it into the brains of cotton rats. This was followed by an injection of a particular polio virus known as "Flexner's MV strain." The rats were paralyzed within the first 48 to 72 hours, Normal control rats which had also received the virus were not paralyzed for four days. Experiments in 1934 The findings were based on a sus- picion, held for several years by Dr. Toomey and other specialists, that there was some connection between the eating of fruits and suscepti- bility to poliomyelitis. In 1934 Toomey experimented with colon bacilli and their toxins as possible "accelerators" of the production of infantile paralysis. The bacilli are present. on unwashed fruits and vegetables and were thought to be an accessory factor in the produc- tion of the disease. Experiments with Rhesus monkeys fed unwashed fruits and vegetables did not verify the supposition, The experimenters then injected fruit skin juices into the brains of cotton rats. Some died, but none were paralyzed. So fruit juices alone were not the cause of para- lysis. In experiments that were followed up by injections of polio virus, the scientists used very dilute solutions of succinic acid, succino-mitrile and chlorophyll. All these occur | fruit and all accelerated the onset of paralysis. It now remains to be seen if suc- cinie acid and succino-mitrile, com- bined with virus, as well as pyrrole and indole cause an acceleration when taken by the mouth, Wife Preservers -- ",_To freshen stale or wilted vegetabl /soak them for an hour in cold eer Io please ring F3204." which some vi; 1 } 'been added' negar or lemon juice has London Plans Talks For Married People London -- (CP) -- Married people and those about to marry will soon be able--for 25 cents-- to attend a dozen 90-minute lec- tures on home-making and the care of children organized by Lon- don County Council, The first course, an experi- mental one scheduled to begin after Easter, will include lectures on home life and the family; pregnancy, confinement, feeding o" infants; care of children from physical and psychological as- pects; prevention of infection; planning the work of the home; care and repair of household equipment Men and women over 18 years of age will be eligible to attend.

I am inviting some relatives and friends to luncheon on East- er. Although my menu will be a simple one (fruit cup; roast lamb and vegetables; green sal- ad, ice cream and cake) I would like to "dress up" the menu at- tractively, appropriate to East- er. Would you please give me some suggestions? 2. 1 have a lovely light-green tablecloth (a yellow-green, not blue-green) which I have used only for dinner settings. Is it proper for me to use this for a luncheon setting on this occa- sion? And will you please give me any suggestions for my table- setting? S. L. 1. In and on your food items you can easily and delightfully capture many fresh Spring col- ors; sprigs of mint on the color- ful fruit cup, for the first course; accessories such as rosebud rad- ishes, slivers of carrots, hearts of celery (scallions too, if you- dare!) ; parsley garnishing on the main-dish platter; mint jelly with the main dish; for the vegetables, creamed spinach, garnished with thinly-sliced egg, and peas and carrots combined; a variety of lush shades of green in your sal- ad; a gala shade of ice cream, or for the accompanying sauce; and a gay pink or yellow frosting on your cup cakes or layer cake. And (it's again possible to buy this) pastel-shaded crystals of rock candy with the after-luncheon coffee. 2. By all means green tablecloth . . . a perfect Nature-background for all col- ors used in your setting or foods! If possible, have a flower center- piece; all-white flowers are of- ten used for an Easter table-set- ting; or an artistically grouped bouquet of vari-colored Spring flowers; or make a pert old- fashioned bouquet, small flowers tightly circled about a center rosebud, Or use one large shallow bowl, or two matching smaller ones, holding floating flowers; for example, white and yellow freesias, pansies, hyacinths, daf- fodils. At each side of the cen- terpiece have a dish of bright- colored candies, mints perhaps; or at each place have a small container, perhaps a gay little Easter et, filled J vari- colored candy eggs or mints, Of course use your most colorful china and glass, gleaming silve® A "Get Well" Card To Thank For . » « & Photograph Not Thanked For Dear Mrs. Beeckman: 1.
